Hi,

Could be hardware related issue, however, please try reinstalling mono:

G_AGP mono-roslyn mono-complete mono-devel mono-runtime libmono-cil-dev
G_AGA
dietpi-software reinstall 150

I'm facing the same issue.
To add to that, I was unable to reinstall mono since it wasn't installed in the first place.
When trying to install it using dietpi-software, I got pretty much the same result as when trying to run dietpi-update.

Details:

• Date | Thu 3 Jan 10:19:12 CET 2019
• Bug report | N/A
• DietPi version | v6.18.14 (Fourdee/master)
• Img creator | n/a
• Pre-image | n/a
• SBC device | Sparky SBC (armv7l) (index=70)
• Kernel version | v68 #22 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 22 10:45:41 IST 2017
• Distro | stretch (index=4)
• Command | G_AGUG
• Exit code | 100
• Software title | DietPi-Software

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install the Mono libraries, either by running dietpi-software install 150 or through the dietpi-software GUI.

Expected behaviour:

• Mono libraries should be installed.

Actual behaviour:

• dietpi throws an error, telling me that dpkg was interrupted.

Extra details:

• Running dpkg --configure -a, as instructed, from SSH results in a session timeout at the following point:

Mono precompiling /usr/lib/mono/4.5/csc.exe for arm...
Mono precompiling /usr/lib/mono/4.5/vbc.exe for arm...
Mono precompiling /usr/lib/mono/4.5/VBCSCompiler.exe for arm...
Mono precompiling /usr/lib/mono/4.5/Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.dll for arm...

• Running dpkg --configure -a directly in the console causes the unit to reboot. After the reboot the problem still persists. This may indicate that a reboot may be the reason behind the SSH disconnect as well.

Possible solution or at least workaround (requires root privileges):

1. (Optional) Remove any files in /var/lib/dpkg/updates.
   This is where I started, but I don't know if it is required and I take no responsibility for any issues this may cause.
   Use the command rm followed by the file name(s).
2. Run apt-get update.
3. Run apt-get upgrade.
   This may take a long time to complete and a reboot may be required.
4. Run dietpi-update.
   It should now be able to complete without issues.

Thanks for the report, might be an issue due to lack of memory. Whats the swapfile size set to?
